Flannel Pajamas is so gorged with gab it feels like a filibuster.
Overview
A mismatched couple meet on a blind date in Manhattan... as Stuart and Nicole progress from love to marriage to discussions about starting a family, their relationship faces the challenges of critical friends, emotionally-demanding relatives, time-consuming careers, different religions and the stresses caused by the endless negotiations all couples wage daily.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Better to rent Scenes From a Marriage, Manhattan or My Dinner With Andre and stay home -- flannel pajamas optional.
In his sophomore feature, Lipsky doesn't feel the need to pump the movie with showy visual tricks. You don't even know he's there most of the time, which is probably a compliment.
Flannel Pajamas is a sharply observed dissection of a couple's relationship, from blind date to marriage to difficulties over everything from whether to get a dog to when to have a baby.
This is all quite fascinating.
